Eetu Luostarinen - Buries game-winner Luostarinen scored a goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Luostarinen's third-period tally was the game-winner. The forward has seen increased ice time in the absences of Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), though Luostarinen is likely to drop back onto the third line when the Panthers are healthy. The 26-year-old has two goals, seven shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season.

Dmitry Kulikov - Scores in Tuesday's win Kulikov scored a goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Kulikov's goal was initially credited to Sam Reinhart, but the defenseman's shot got through cleanly to tie the game at 2-2 at 11:59 of the second period. Even in a seven-defenseman lineup, Kulikov was able to log 19:20 of ice time -- he's been above 18 minutes in four of the Panthers' first five games. The 33-year-old blueliner's goal was his first point of the season to go with three shots on net, seven hits and four blocked shots as he occupies a top-four role.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Niko Mikkola - Nabs two helpers Tuesday Mikkola picked up two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact The veteran blueliner collected his first points of the season, as he had a hand in a Dmitry Kulikov tally in the second period and Eetu Luostarinen's game-winner in the third. Mikkola produced a career-high 17 points (three goals, 14 assists) in 82 regular-season games for Florida last season, but his true fantasy value lies elsewhere -- he already has 10 blocked shots through five games in 2024-25, including four Tuesday.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Anton Lundell - Two points Tuesday Lundell produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Both points came in the second period, with Lundell getting the Panthers on the board midway through the frame. The 23-year-old is working as the No. 2 center with Aleksander Barkov (lower body) on the shelf and has taken advantage with three goals and four points in the last two games. Barkov is expected back before the end of the month, but while he's sidelined, Lundell figures to be a valuable fantasy asset.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Reinhart - Three points in Tuesday's win Reinhart scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact With Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness) both sidelined, Reinhart stepped up and led Florida to victory, including a nifty feed late in the third period that sprung Eetu Luostarinen for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Reinhart is off to a flying start to the campaign, collecting four goals and eight points through five contests as the 28-year-old looks to demonstrate that his 57-goal, 94-point eruption in 2023-24 was no fluke.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Knight - Holds on for win Tuesday Knight turned aside 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact The 23-year-old netminder got plenty of help from his posts on the night -- Zach Werenski struck iron on multiple occasions alone -- but Knight also made some big stops, including an absolute robbery of Yegor Chinakhov inside the final minute on what would have been the tying goal. Knight has started two of the Panthers' first five games, going 1-1-0 with an .891 save percentage, and he appears to be settling in nicely as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup.

Spencer Knight - In goal against Jackets Knight will get the starting nod on the road versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Knight will take the second game of a back-to-back after Sergei Bobrovsky was in the crease for Monday's 4-3 win over the Bruins. In his previous appearances this season, the 23-year-old Knight gave up four goals on 26 shots (.846 save percentage) in a losing effort versus Buffalo. The Panthers don't have any more back-to-backs in October, but Knight could still get another game to close out the opening month of the season.

Adam Boqvist - Logs power-play assist Boqvist recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.
Impact Boqvist's helper was his first point of the season, though he has routinely seen power-play time when in the lineup. The 24-year-old defenseman missed one game after suffering a facial injury when struck by a puck. Boqvist has added five shots on net and a minus-2 rating, but if he remains on the top power-play unit, he should provide noticeable upside on offense.
